Background and release

The album was accompanied by promotional activities in Lagos, including a listening event held ahead of its release.[6]
Composition
The album opens with "Amin", featuring Reehaa and Kabusa Oriental Choir.[7] The song combines contemporary Afrobeats with choral and spiritual elements, establishing the project's reflective opening. It is followed by "Katampe", featuring Rybeena, which shifts the album towards a contemporary romantic and melodic sound.[7] "Come With Me", featuring Moelogo, incorporates Afro-piano elements and centres on romantic themes.[7] "Money I Get", featuring LAZ and Dëra, takes a more contemporary street-oriented approach, while "My Girl", featuring Berri-Tiga, returns to the album's romantic themes.[7]
The sixth track, "Halima", features Timi Martins and SHON.[7] The song continues the album's melodic approach before "No Kiss And Tell", featuring LYRXX, introduces another romantic-themed performance.[7] "Dance No Dance", featuring Swayvee, shifts the album towards a more dance-oriented sound.[7] "Never Settle For Less", featuring Hotkeed, focuses on perseverance and aspiration.[7] The song is followed by "Jeje Laye", featuring Portable, which brings the street-pop influence of the project to the forefront.[7]
The eleventh track, "Running", features Guchi and continues the project's melodic and contemporary Afrobeats approach.[7] "Taliban", featuring Ghanaian singer KOJOBLAK, incorporates Ghanaian musical influences and represents one of the album's strongest cross-border collaborations.[7] According to an interview with Notjustok, "Taliban" was recorded in Accra, Ghana, while most of the album's other tracks were recorded in Lagos.[7] "Good Mood Good Vibe", featuring Kikimoteleba, returns to the album's upbeat and celebratory side.[7] The song is followed by the closing track, "Street", featuring Gbolar Mighty, which incorporates themes associated with Nigerian street culture and everyday urban life.[7] Together, the final two songs close the album on an energetic note.[7]
